## What is Kakeibo?

Kakeibo is a simple expense tracker built around one idea: the fastest possible way to write down what you just spent.

The perfect ledger is the one you never keep. So this app puts everything into speed. Type the amount, swipe to a category, save. A few seconds — done before it starts to feel like a chore. That is why it lasts.

◆ Fast.
Number pad for the amount, a swipe for the category, a tap to save. The part of any household ledger people give up on — the typing — is cut down to the fewest moves we could find.

◆ Quiet.
One small banner at the top, and nothing else competing for your attention. No decoration to get through, no setup to finish. It is meant to feel like a stock iOS app you can open every day without getting tired of it.

◆ Clear.
• Chart, calendar and list views of the month you are in
• A monthly budget that tells you when you are drifting, without nagging
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, so you can check without opening the app
• 30 currencies with daily reference rates from the European Central Bank
• A gentle reminder so the habit survives a busy day

◆ Portable.
Import a CSV from another budgeting app or a spreadsheet, review every column before anything is saved, and export your own records whenever you want. Your data is yours to take with you.

◆ Yours to shape. (Premium — a one-time purchase)
Save the expenses you log again and again and record one with a single tap. Rename, reorder and re-icon your categories. Register rent and subscriptions once and let them catch up when you open the app. Split a bill and record only your share. Tag spending inside a category, keep household and work apart with separate wallets, and read a monthly report of where it all went. Ads disappear too. There is no monthly or yearly charge.

Recording, CSV import and export, widgets and search stay free.

◆ Private.
Everything you record stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no server of ours to send it to. (The only outbound request is to the European Central Bank's public exchange-rate file, and only when you convert currencies.)

A household ledger is not something to be good at. It is something to keep. Start by simply knowing what you spent.

Kakeibo is free to use. The free version shows ads.
This app helps you record spending. It does not provide financial, investment, tax, accounting or legal advice.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.1 — 2026-09-10

Premium is now available to purchase. In the previous version, the purchase could not be completed from the upgrade screen — we're sorry for the trouble.

Premium adds one-tap entry for the expenses you log most, smart suggestions, custom categories, tags, fixed-cost catch-up, multiple wallets, split the bill, and spending reports. Ads are removed too. It is a one-time purchase, with no monthly or yearly charge.

Recording, CSV import and export, widgets and search stay free.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-09-06

Premium is here: a one-time purchase, with no monthly or yearly charge.

• Repeat shortcuts — save a regular expense and record it with one tap.
• Smart suggestions — the expenses you usually log at this hour appear first.
• Custom categories — rename, reorder and re-icon them; hide the ones you never use.
• Tags — break a category down further and total it later.
• Fixed-cost catch-up — after a due date, entries are added when you next open the app, for up to three months.
• Multiple wallets — keep household and work spending apart.
• Split the bill — divide a total and record only your share.
• Spending reports — monthly trends, category breakdowns and month-over-month change.
• No ads.

We also cleared up some small confusions on screen.

Existing records move to the new on-device format automatically without changing any displayed amount. A safety CSV from before the change is kept on the device and can be exported from Settings.

Recording, CSV import/export, widgets and search stay free.
